“If the warming of the planet is trying to limit, it is absurd to form soil to produce bio fuels,” said Joe Giorgione, researcher at the Nature Conservancy, one of the leading private environmental organizations and co-author of the study also carried out with scientists from the University of Minnesota. “All the bio fuels we use now, bring a destruction of nature with them, directly or indirectly,” said Giorgione.

The amount of CO2 in the atmosphere by converting land to make bio fuels to produce is greater than the amount of CO2 not emitted through the use of those fuels.
